The Hardest Part

I thought that everybody gets older

But I guess that's not the case

'Cause you said goodbye to your family last night

You were only twenty-eight

And the year is gonna get a lot colder

But you'll always be stuck in June

When the trees turn red, will it hit me then that

I'm not gonna see you soon?

I never said goodbye

And now it's sinking in

That the last time I saw you we were kids

I guess the hardest part of getting old

Is that some people that you love don't

Yeah, I thought that everybody gets better

But I guess that's not the truth

Took a drive last night, tried to clear my mind

But I turned the whole highway blue

Yeah, I cried when I read

The last text that you sent

'Cause I'll never see those three dots there again

I never said goodbye

And now it's sinking in

That the last time I saw you we were kids

I guess the hardest part of getting old

Is that some people that you love don't

And I don't know what to say to your little brother

Who am I to say it's gonna be okay?

My mom's friends with your mother

Catching up is never gonna be the same

No more texts on your birthday

Every time another friend says your name

No, I don't know what to say

I never said goodbye

And now it's sinking in

That the last time I saw you we were kids

I guess the hardest part of getting old

Is that some people that you love don't

I wish I would've tried harder to stay in touch

I thought we had more time

Too busy growing up

I guess the hardest part of getting old

Is that some people that you love don't

Some people that you love don't

Some people that you love don't
